The same day that the 2016 Democratic presidential candidates debated in Los Vegas, the StopHillary PAC dropped a brutal anti-Hillary ad that took her to task for the way in which her actions led to the death of four servicemen during the 2012 Benghazi attack.

“Dear Hillary Clinton, I’d like to ask you why you ignored calls for help in Benghazi and then four Americans were murdered,” the narrator asked as the images of US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith and CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty flashed across the screen.

“I’d like to know why you lied, saying the attack was a response to an Internet video. I’d like to hear why you tried to silence the Benghazi whistleblower. But Mrs. Clinton, I can’t. What difference does it make?”

The video ended by showing the grave of Stevens.

Some argued that the ad went too far by using Steven’s grave, but the PAC’s counsel, Dan Backer, disagreed.

“I think the awful way Hillary Clinton treated the mother of a Benghazi victim went too far,” Backer said to ABC News in regard to allegations made by Patricia Smith, the mother of U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith (H/T The Daily Caller):

She said that Clinton has made promises to get to the bottom of the Benghazi raid but has not followed through and that she instructed the State Department to not share information with her.

“All she ever did was tell me I was not a member of the immediate family,” Smith said, adding that “I don’t think that’s very nice to be talking about a mother that way.”

“So far they have treated me like dirt and have not told me anything,” she said.
